Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia’s vast and varied content, one random article at a time.
The random article for Saturday, 6 July 2024 is Pennsylvania Manufacturers' Association.
The Pennsylvania Manufacturers' Association is a trade advocacy organization headquartered in Harrisburg, the capital of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Association was founded in Harrisburg on 9 October 1909 by Joseph R. Grundy, a manufacturer from Bucks County. The group’s original members were Pennsylvania individuals and companies engaged in the manufacturing of goods as well as trade and local associations representing the manufacturers.
The consortium began offering insurance products, providing workers’ compensation insurance in 1915 and fire and other casualty insurance in 1920. In 2004, PMA sold its insurance properties to PMA Capital Insurance Co. of Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, although PMA Capital retained the company’s name.
PMA remained concentrated on events in Pennsylvania until 1925, when it joined the National Industrial Council, part of the National Association of Manufacturers. Although PMA is primarily a trade advocacy group, it has also provided it members support during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, conducted workplace safety research projects on drug use affects in employees, supported trade with Taiwan, opposed federal tariffs, and developed programs re-purposing Pennsylvania’s many shut-down coal facilities.
